What are your responsbilities?

Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, you must ensure the following fire safety risk assessment steps: 

  • Conducting a thorough fire risk assessment, identifying potential hazards
  • Identifying individuals at risk
  • Implementing measures to eliminate or minimise risks and providing general fire precautions
  • Ensuring protection from flammable or explosive materials
  • Establishing emergency plans and documenting findings
  • Regularly review and update your assessment

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, a supplementary element of the Fire Safety Order 2005, introduce new obligations on responsible individuals, particularly in high-rise residential buildings. These mandates include sharing essential information with fire and rescue services for efficient operational responses, providing additional safety measures for high-rise and multi-occupied residential buildings over 11 meters, and furnishing residents with fire safety information and instructions about fire doors.

Who is the responsible person for completing a fire risk assessment?

When it comes to conducting a fire safety risk assessment, we can provide competent advice and consultation to the responsible person in order to help them carry out their duties, as defined in the Fire Safety Order 2005. 

The term “responsible person” can mean:

  • Employers with control over workplaces 
  • Individuals controlling premises for trade, business, or other undertakings
  • Owners in cases where the person in control does not manage premises for trade, business, or other undertakings

 

This definition spans commercial landlords, HMO landlords, Holiday Let landlords, employers with premises, principal contractors at construction sites, educational institutions, entertainment venues, care facilities, hotels, offices, and shops. All these entities must conduct fire risk assessments and record significant findings to ensure compliance.
